Oh, how do I review this without any spoilers? I think short and sweet is the key. Disturbing in oh so many ways (as is any good Flynn book) and completely unputdownable.

For me this was a victim of it's own hype: the actual story struggled to live up to the thing I had heard about it. There is a good storyline, some great twists and some really enjoyable nasty characters.

However I have to say that as a reading experience I prefered The Silent Wife, Apple Tree Yard and Under your Skin.

This story not only cranks up the tension chapter by chapter but page by page .. there's twists & turns all over the place .. the set up is good and the

I had this down as an o.k. read, can't remember too much about it a week or so later, but maybe I missed the whole point as other reviews are raving about it.....perhaps I need a re-read?!
